”Claire was been brilliant for NatCen. She didn't shy away from telling us what's unclear – or indeed boring! – and in doing so, helps us get our case across. The clarity of thought and editing skills that she brought to our technical work helped us win multi-million pound contracts.”

Proposal documents

The National Centre for Social Research uses its expertise in social policy and data collection to conduct far-reaching studies funded by governments and charities. The proposals for such projects may comprise tender documents running to hundreds of pages, with millions of pounds in funding at stake. During Penny’s tenure, we helped the Centre prepare these proposals, providing a strategic overview to isolate and address any strengths and weaknesses, and to define the key messages for each chapter. We subsequently edited key sections of the proposals, to bring clarity to even the most technical material.
